STEAL the ball by standing next to your opponent and holding the ACTION button.

PREDICT when your opponent is going to steal and hold the ACTION button to BLOCK them. A successful BLOCK will score POINTS.

BE CAREFUL when blocking. If you waste too much shield, you will be unable to block.

KEEP the ball inside the POINT ZONES to capture them.

CAPTURE more POINT ZONES than your opponent to WIN!

No friends? No problem. BOTOLO has built-in, state-of-the-art friend
simulations! Granted, these incredible programs might not appreciate
the simple beauty of a sunset, or lend you a reassuring hug in a time
of need, but they DO adapt to your playstyle mid-match, which is
almost as good.
